Please read LICENSE for information on the +software availability and distribution. + +Class Features: +- Send emails with multiple TOs, CCs, BCCs and REPLY-TOs +- Redundant SMTP servers +- Multipart/alternative emails for mail clients that do not read HTML email +- Support for 8bit, base64, binary, and quoted-printable encoding +- Uses the same methods as the very popular AspEmail active server (COM) component +- SMTP authentication +- Native language support +- Word wrap, and more! + +Why you might need it: + +Many PHP developers utilize email in their code. The only PHP function +that supports this is the mail() function. However, it does not expose +any of the popular features that many email clients use nowadays like +HTML-based emails and attachments. There are two proprietary +development tools out there that have all the functionality built into +easy to use classes: AspEmail(tm) and AspMail. Both of these +programs are COM components only available on Windows. They are also a +little pricey for smaller projects. + +Since I do Linux development I’ve missed these tools for my PHP coding. +So I built a version myself that implements the same methods (object +calls) that the Windows-based components do. It is open source and the +LGPL license allows you to place the class in your proprietary PHP +projects. + + +Installation: + +Copy class.phpmailer.php into your php.ini include_path. If you are +using the SMTP mailer then place class.smtp.php in your path as well. +In the language directory you will find several files like +phpmailer.lang-en.php. If you look right before the .php extension +that there are two letters. These represent the language type of the +translation file. For instance "en" is the English file and "br" is +the Portuguese file. Chose the file that best fits with your language +and place it in the PHP include path. If your language is English +then you have nothing more to do. If it is a different language then +you must point PHPMailer to the correct translation. To do this, call +the PHPMailer SetLanguage method like so: + +// To load the Portuguese version +$mail->SetLanguage("br", "/optional/path/to/language/directory/"); + +That's it. You should now be ready to use PHPMailer! + + +A Simple Example: + +<?php +require("class.phpmailer.php"); + +$mail = new PHPMailer(); + +$mail->IsSMTP(); // set mailer to use SMTP +$mail->Host = "smtp1.example.com;smtp2.example.com"; // specify main and backup server +$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // turn on SMTP authentication +$mail->Username = "jswan"; // SMTP username +$mail->Password = "secret"; // SMTP password + +$mail->From = "from@example.com"; +$mail->FromName = "Mailer"; +$mail->AddAddress("josh@example.net", "Josh Adams"); +$mail->AddAddress("ellen@example.com"); // name is optional +$mail->AddReplyTo("info@example.com", "Information"); + +$mail->WordWrap = 50; // set word wrap to 50 characters +$mail->AddAttachment("/var/tmp/file.tar.gz"); // add attachments +$mail->AddAttachment("/tmp/image.jpg", "new.jpg"); // optional name +$mail->IsHTML(true); // set email format to HTML + +$mail->Subject = "Here is the subject"; +$mail->Body = "This is the HTML message body <b>in bold!</b>"; +$mail->AltBody = "This is the body in plain text for non-HTML mail clients"; + +if(!$mail->Send()) +{ + echo "Message could not be sent. <p>"; + echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo; + exit; +} + +echo "Message has been sent"; +?> + +CHANGELOG + +See ChangeLog.txt + +Download: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=26031 + +Brent R.
